Was thinking of getting a Lite for the kid, but seeing what she did to my controllers that came with my OLED, don't think it's a good idea. I think she might have chewed the analogue sticks.
One game I'd like to see get this "upgrade" is Mystical Ninja.
On a N64 and CRT it doesn't look as good as it does when emulated. They built it on whatever they did back then, then when transferred to the console they must had thought, yuck.
With this, you'll see enemies from a distance, not when you get close enough they just appear. The towns could have a little more going on, better weather effects, leaves falling around, etc...
I'll happily buy a Switch 2, but if there's not a major hardware revamp, it might be a slow start like the PS5, still waiting for real current gen games.
With just rumours, can't even guess what's going to happen.
If there is a switch for old graphics I'd probably be interested, old school grahpics on a dungeon crawler have a bit of charm about them. This just looks like a mobile phone game.
@Rambler despite the name, it's a great store of used electronics and gaming stuff. It's like Cash Converters. Highly recommended if you're ever in Japan.

Let's see... where is Shenmue?
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Addresses Concerns About His Age And Role At Nintendo
He seems to age very well and still of a sound mind.
There's a lot of people who'll continue his views and legacies. So I am not concerned at all.
GOAT.
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Box Art Has Been Revealed
Link's Awakening for some weird reason had a couple of framerate drops, hopefully we won't get that on this.
Definitely intrigued with this one.
Re: Hands On: Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Is Much More Than A Pretty Picture

The direct is going to be 45 minutes of the Wii music drumming guy from E3 many years ago!!
Let's go!!
Re: Rumour: Leaker Hints At New Nintendo Codenames, Persona 6 On 'Switch 2', And More
This kind of build up is what is needed for a new console announcement. There's so much potential as well, the sky's the limit!

Re: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Celebrating Launch With Twitch Streams
Can't wait for Nintendo to send a cease and desist letter to themselves after this.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Library With Three More Classics
SML used to scare me as a kid, I had a bad dream about it once. It wasn't like the Mario's I played before and I freaked out.
I'm an adult now, think I can handle it.
Re: UK Charts: Sea Of Stars Physicals Dawn As Endless Ocean: Luminous Takes A Dive
@BenAV I got mine from the same place. They sent me the link to the soundtrack, just waiting for them to send the game.
Re: Random: Sakurai's Game Storage Solutions Are A Sight To Behold
I got those Billy Bookcases from IKEA, I gleam every time I look at it.
But I do love a shoebox of games, you never know what you'll find even if it's your own!
Re: EA Apparently Exploring The Idea Of In-Game Ads In Traditional AAA Titles
If it's got ads in it then that'll bring the games price down? Right...?
Re: Random: Zelda Movie Director (Kind Of) Doesn't Want To Reveal His Favourite Game In The Series
Think it's hard not to have a wrong answer...
Re: Nintendo Direct June 2024 Confirmed To Boost An Otherwise Quiet Year For Switch
A new wave of N64 games, Pokemon for GB and GBA with a link to PokeBank and maybe a few announcements for the other platforms.
Acknowledgement for Mario Kart with some new tracks.
Zelda WW.
Other than that, I haven't got much else for predictions
Re: Talking Point: Would You Want To Reuse Your Joy-Con On 'Switch 2'?
They'll become spares of course.
Re: Zelda Live-Action Movie Director Promises To Be "Ambitious"
Director of movie says he's going to try make a great movie.
Next, actor in said movie says movie is great.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Endless Ocean: Luminous
Shame IGN didn't give us "Too much water" but I'd imagine their comment section is blowing up!
Re: Review: Endless Ocean: Luminous (Switch) - A Meditative Marine Milieu, But Incredibly Shallow
Wasn't expecting too much from this game, maybe a VR with Labo was a miss.
Still interested, maybe I'll wait for a price drop.
Re: Rumour: 'Switch 2' Said To Be Fully Backward Compatible With A Larger, 1080p Screen
I'll happily buy a Switch 2, but if there's not a major hardware revamp, it might be a slow start like the PS5, still waiting for real current gen games.
With just rumours, can't even guess what's going to happen.
Re: Digital Eclipse's Remake of 'Wizardry' Dungeon Crawls Onto Switch In May
If there is a switch for old graphics I'd probably be interested, old school grahpics on a dungeon crawler have a bit of charm about them. This just looks like a mobile phone game.
Re: Review: Grounded (Switch) - Obsidian's Shrunk-Down Survival Adventure Struggles On Switch
Bit bored of these performance issue Switch games.
Bring on the Switch 2.
Re: Video: New Endless Ocean Luminous Overview Trailer Teases "Limited-Time" Event Dives
There's enough buzz in my household for this I'll have to get three copies of the game. We'll be able to dive in together ❤️
Re: Idris Elba Hypes Sonic 3 Movie As "One For All The Real Diehard Sonic Fans"
I get the feeling he quite likes being Knuckles.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (13th April)
Majora's Mask!! Thanks @felix
Re: Sunsoft Announces 'Retro Game Selection' For Switch, English Release Planned
They had a decent contract with Warner Brothers back in the day.
As a fan of Point and Click games, Scooby Doo Mystery for the Mega Drive was a gem.
Maybe Warner Bros need to make a retro collection.
Re: Video: We're Playing Zelda: Majora's Mask In Our YouTube Series 'First Bytes'
Really enjoyed Felix's OOT run. Will keep an ear out for these, presumably announced on the Discord?
Re: Staff At UK Retailer GAME Reportedly Facing Redundancies
@bones mine is in the corner of the top of a Sports Direct.
Game didn't have a chance with their horrible pricing.
Re: Nintendo Updates The URLs For Its European Website Domains
Switch Pro confirmed!
Re: Best Final Fantasy Games, Ranked - Switch And Nintendo Systems
VI, VII, IX, VIII, IV, III, V, X, I, II.
I'm 100% certain there are no mainline games after X.

@Rambler despite the name, it's a great store of used electronics and gaming stuff. It's like Cash Converters. Highly recommended if you're ever in Japan.
Re: Review: Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection (Switch) - Riddled With Issues, This Is
I'll wait a little while, wait on a few patches and theb get for PC.
Re: Best Pokémon Spin-Off Games Of All Time
Had my eye on Conquest for a little while now, annoyed I passed it up. Trending over double the original price, but it'll be a keeper I'm sure.
I saw Pokemon Stadium 2 (loose) at a carboot yesterday! Guy wanted £40 for it, which isn't bad, but I don't go carboots to pay "not bad" prices.
Re: Feature: 33 Games We're Surprised Still Aren't On Switch
Only two... Skies of Arcadia and Monkey Island
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Princess Peach: Showtime! For Switch?
My 10yr old girl said she wants it, but the attention span on that kid is low, she'll be back on Minecraft a day later.
This game has a particular audience, I'm not part of it.
Re: Tropical Open World Adventure 'Tchia' Glides Onto Switch This Summer
I swear, I was just thinking how I'd be interested in this if it was on Switch after reading an email it was available on Steam!
Re: Overwatch 2 Announces Collab With Legendary Anime 'Cowboy Bebop'
If only this was on Overwatch original.
Re: Dragon Ball Creator Akira Toriyama Has Passed Away
Wow, this has really hit hard, part of my childhood.

Re: Rumour: Paper Mario & Luigi's Mansion 2 News Potentially Coming On MAR10
Mario 35 comeback would be welcome.
Re: New Card Collecting App 'Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket' Launches This Year
Interested if F2P is okay and I can get some MyNintendo Platinum Points.
Not going to sink money into something I don't physically own like actual Pokemon cards, that would be too like Ultimate Teams on those sports games.
Re: Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection Estimated Switch File Size Revealed
Aww, might get on PC then 😕
